Look closely at the sign on the bench on the front porch of the Lutheran House. The House has been home for generations of people, and will continue to be a haven of rest and renewal for future guests. Being part of the "Lutheran House Family" is a treasured experience for many of our guests.

'Twas the end of the season
and all through the (Lutheran) House,
not a creature was stirring…

except for the squirrel that has been darting in and out of the house all summer. Even as the house was being closed up for the season, she made one last dash in through the door, then out through a window.
I wonder if she’ll be waiting for us when we all come back next year?
